Apparently Snake is having some issues getting out of bed on these cold mornings.  The Japanese release of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is getting delayed until April 29, 2010.  Konami is saying that the extra time is needed to ensure customer satisfaction.  What more could they be putting in over a month and a half delay?  Maybe they are enhancing the box experience.

This extra time will not delay the US and European releases though.  Peace Walker is still slated for a May 25 release in the US and May 27 for Europe.  Hopefully Snake has some coffee as we don’t want this delayed for us!

The PSP is getting some sex appeal from the Dead or Alive girls.  Check out this trailer and see the fun that is coming to the PSP.  Yup, it is tacky, and there is nothing here on the game, but you know you want to click play just to see if I am right or wrong.  Maybe Sony should have used this with the unveiling of the PSPGo??

So you still have not picked up Half Minute Hero.  Have you been debating on how good it just might be?  You can debate no longer as a demo is in your near future.  On February 4, you can snag the demo and check out what all they hype is about.  The demo will give you a glimpse of the Hero Mode.  Check it out, you might just add another game to your collection.

Persona 3 is heading to the PSP.  That’s right, one of the all time highest rated RPGs is coming right to the PSP.  Not only is it getting a platform make over, but it is also getting added content.  P3P will feature Skill Cards, part-time jobs, five difficulty settings, and all the teammate control you can handle in the heat of battle.

To top off all this greatness, the game has been enhanced just for the PSP.  Items like one-button menus, streamlined equipment changes, and short load times means you can play this one over lunch!  Keep an eye here as we will rock the info to you as we get it.  Now check out the screenshots and video just to wet your appetite for this awesome RPG.

Persona 3 Portable is hitting on July 6, 2010.  You have been warned, so no excuses when you loose hours of your life to this!

The PSP is getting a new game by the name of Patchwork Heroes this spring.  What will one do in this you might ask.  Well, Patchwork Heroes will put the fate of a city and its citizens in your mad gamer hands.  You must defend these poor defenseless people from the evil mega warships.  Save some comrades along with way by freeing them from their places of torment.

This might sound easy until the fact that the enemy has repair people to fix the damage you have done.  Of course, this is all a drop in the bucket compared to the guns and rockets that the mega warships will have aimed squarely at you.  But, once you cut that warship down to size, it ceases to fly.  Do you have what it takes to keep your citizens free?  Find out this spring when Patchwork Heroes hits the PSN!

Asksys Games is going to bring their hit 2D fighting game, BlazBlue, to the PSP.  This will not be some stripped down version either.  The PSP will get all the features the bigger consoles enjoy.  The modes will include Arcade, Versus, Score Attack, Training, and Story as well as an all new Shop and Legion Mode.   All 12 characters will be on the PSP as well.

To top off this helping of awesomeness, each character will get an unlimited version as well.  These unlimited characters will be available in the new Shop mode.  Could there be a new contender for the top fighting game on the PSP?  We will find out in March of 2010.

Eri Kasamoto
Character Specialty: Double the normal quantity of grenades as well as grenade replenishment.
Eri began life as an orphan abandoned on the steps of a church. Once she caught on to the ways of the world, she left the church behind and became leader of a band of street kids. At that time, she was recruited by the Army’s Intel Division who saw promise in her innate ability for combat. After being heavily trained in the art of subversive activities, she became a first-class assassin and saboteur. In the following years, she completed numerous dangerous missions, but ultimately grew tired of doing dirty work, which left her only with a terrible sense of remorse. She requested a transfer to the SOG (Special Operations Group) known as the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. Normally, such a request would be ignored by the top brass, but in Eri’s case, they decided to make an exception because of her exceptional service record. She demonstrated unparalleled ability by quelling General Morden’s second coup and was promoted to Staff Sergeant.

Marco Rossi
Character Specialty: Doubled handgun power
An Italian-American computer whiz, Marco entered Special Military Engineering college after graduating from an industrial trade school. Once he graduated, he joined a special forces unit known as the Peregrine Falcons. Marco is generally a good-natured man, but the mere mention of General Morden’s name causes Marco to fall into a rage after having lost countless family and friends over the years to the General’s various attacks.
Although he is one of the top combat agents in the special forces unit, Marco has a rather quiet hobby: computer programming. One of his biggest shames is that a computer virus he initially created as a joke ended up infecting the DoD mainframe and nearly caused a nuclear launch. This is a secret that Marco will never share with anyone.
